Recruitment Approvals
For HR officers, department managers, approvers and approval administrators.
Overview
A department manager asks for new staff through a Recruitment request. The request goes through the approval levels of the company. Once approved, the HR department recruits for the requested job position, and the manager follows the progress on the same request.
Several requests for the same job position can be open at the same time. When requests are approved, their expected employees add up in the Target of the job position.
| Role |
What they do |
Access right to assign |
| Approval administrator |

Approvals: Administrator |
| Department manager |
Creates and submits recruitment requests, follows the recruitment progress. |
Approvals: Officer |
| Approver |

| HR officer |

Setup (for the Approval administrator)
Install the app
- Open Apps.
- Search for Recruitment Approvals and press Install. The required apps are installed with it.
The Recruitment approval type is created automatically.
Assign the access rights
- Open Settings > Users & Companies > Users and select a user.
- Set the Approvals access right of the user: Officer for managers who create requests or approve them, Team Approver for managers who only approve the requests of their team, Administrator for those who configure approval types.
- Give HR officers the Recruitment access right Officer.
Set up the approval levels
- Open Approval > Configuration > Approval Types and select Recruitment.
- In the Approval Process tab, choose who approves: Manager Approval, Minimum Approvals, and the lines of Extra Approval Steps.
Department manager: ask for new staff
Create a recruitment request
- Open Recruitment > Recruitment Approvals > Approval Request. The Recruitment type is shown.
- Press Create Request.
- Fill in the request:
- Employee and Demand Department - who asks and for which department.
- Requested Position - the job position to recruit for. Its requirements and description are filled in when they are empty.
- Date Expected - when the new employees are needed.
- Expected Employees - how many employees are needed.
- Press Save.
Submit the request
Check the information, then press Submit. The request moves from Draft to To Approve and the approvers are notified.
Several requests for the same position
You can create another request for a position that already has an open or approved request, for example when more people are needed later. Each request is approved on its own.
Approver: approve or refuse
- Open the request from your activities or from Approval > Approval Request.
- Press Approve or Refuse. When several approval levels are configured, the request becomes Approved once the last required level has approved it.
When a request is approved, the Target of its job position (Recruitment > Configuration > Job Positions) is raised to the total of the Expected Employees of the approved requests for that position, if that total is higher than the current target. The target is never lowered automatically.
For example, a position with a target of 4 receives two approved requests of 3 employees each: its target becomes 6.
HR officer: recruit and follow the progress
Find the requests of a position
Open the job position and press the Recruit. Request button: it lists every recruitment request of that position with its status.
Follow applicants and hired employees
Recruit for the position as usual in the Recruitment app. On an approved request, the Applicants tab shows:
- # of Employees - the employees hired for this request, and the Recruited Employees Rate compared with the Expected Employees;
- the list of applicants with their stage and application status.
An application is linked to the most recent approved request for its job position. On the application, the Recruitment Request field shows that request, and the filters With Recruitment Requests and Without Recruitment Requests narrow the list of applications.
The Employees Recruited button of the request opens the hired employees.
